Dallas star Linda Gray toasts her late pal Larry Hagman with a glass of champagne at sunset whenever she's at home to witness the end of the day. The actor, who played J.R. Ewing - Gray's former TV husband on the show, passed away a year ago (Nov12) after losing his battle with cancer, and his longtime pal has taken up his penchant for raising a glass to the dipping sun.
Gray tells Closer magazine, "Every day at sunset, Larry would do this weird thing - he would raise a glass of champagne as the sun was setting, and he would say, 'Bong! Bong!' and make this sound like he was hitting a gong.
"I flew back into Dallas on Larry's birthday (this year). I unpacked a few things, and it was almost sunset. So I ran to the window, told him, 'Happy Birthday', and said, 'Bong! Bong!' I wanted this condo, so that every time I was here at sunset, I could do that and say hello to him."

UPDATE: Fooled you! It's time to set the record straight: Twenty-five-year-old Jimmy Fallon of S.C. would prefer to see Jay Leno off the air, not the late night host. Still curious about the Whole Foods employee's thoughts about the late night shift? Read on!
EARLIER: For the past two weeks, rumors have been circulating that Jimmy Fallon will be taking over Jay Leno's late night spot. While NBC has yet to comment on the situation, Leno has said that he hopes that Fallon will get his slot. But Jimmy Fallon isn't as kind.
"I think it’s time for him [Jay Leno] to go," he tells Hollywood.com. "Back in the day, he was great and he could actually relate to everybody and what they were going through. But now, he’s just too old. He’s an old man [and] it’s time for him to be done."

And if, in fact, Jimmy Fallon does move up into Leno's spot, Fallon thinks Seth Meyers would be a great choice to replace the vacated Late Night hosting spot. "It would be awesome. Seth Meyers would be amazing actually because he just smokes so much pot and he’s just perfect," he jokes.
If Meyers doesn't work out, Fallon says Jonah Hill would also be a good replacement "because his attitude is just amazing." "He’s absolutely hilarious in everything that he does," he says. "And I’ve yet to see anything of his that doesn’t completely crack me up. I always end up watching his deleted scenes and the outtakes and everything, he’s just so funny."

Fallon's criticism is not just reserved for Leno, though. He also tells Hollywood.com Saturday Night Live isn't as good as it used to be. "Honestly, it got kind of dull for me," he says. "I liked the older episodes a lot better."

Including ones that starred Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon, who recently devoted a whole week of shows to The 20/20 Experience singer. But Fallon, a 25-year-old Whole Foods Market employee from Goose Creek, S.C., says he doesn't feel as though he would vibe with Timberlake: "I don’t think he could handle being around me. I don’t think he could handle my lifestyle. I can basically do anything, be anything I want to be. He’s just no spontaneous enough for me. That’s just who I am."
What South Carolina native Fallon can predict, though, is how people will react hearing that he shares a name the popular Late Night host. "I get that from my friends, my family, from customers I deal with all day long," he says. "When I was in school, I [even] got it from teachers." And, no doubt, from many of you on this April Fools.

No matter what your feelings on Jay Leno may be (especially if you're current time slot rival Jimmy Kimmel), there's no denying that he's just as capable of stepping on toes as he is getting viewers to tune in to his show. Now with the rumblings that NBC is ready to boot the host (again) and replace him with a younger, hipper guy (again! ... only this time it would be Jimmy Fallon), will Leno's faithful fans stick with The Tonight Show, go elsewhere, or tune out at 11:35 PM for good?
RELATED: If Jimmy Fallon Replaces Jay Leno, Who Will Replace Fallon?
Even though Leno is biting the hand that feeds him by mocking the floundering NBC on an almost nightly basis, insiders are baffled as to why the network would dare get rid of him. As Tim Malloy over at The Wrap muses, Leno would be "the only one losing his job in late night — even though he's beating the guys who are keeping theirs."
Bill Gorman, the co-founder of television ratings website TV by the Numbers, broke down the current averages of the season to date for the late night shows and their respective hosts for Hollywood.com:
- The Tonight Show, Leno: 0.8 adults 18-49 rating, 3.5 million total viewers
- The Late Show, Letterman: 0.7 adults 18-49 rating, 3.1 million total viewers
- Jimmy Kimmel Live, 0.7 adults 18-49 rating, 2.6 million total viewers (avg. since his show moved to 11:35 in January)
RELATED: Jimmy Fallon Jokes About Jay Leno Replacement Rumors
Meanwhile Leno's proposed replacement, Late Night host Fallon, who is on at the later 12:35 AM time slot, has a "0.5 rating, 1.7 million total viewers season to date." So where would Leno's devoted fans in the coveted 18-49 demo go? Will they move to rival David Letterman, who, like Leno, sways to an older crowd? Or will they abandon network TV for good and instead flip to cable for, say, The Daily Show or The Colbert Report? (As Gorman notes, "On a week to week basis, [Jon] Stewart and [Stephen] Colbert's shows are now pretty close to the broadcast shows among adults 18-49, but draw about half as many total viewers.")
Michael Schneider of TV Guide Magazine, lends his expertise on the subject to Hollywood.com: "In this fragmented TV world, if Leno leaves The Tonight Show, his audience would likely be spread far and wide — it's unlikely one show would be the beneficiary."
"If Letterman outlasts Leno, he'd pick up some of those viewers. Some might stick around to check out Fallon or try Kimmel, but others will likely move on to news shows, syndicated repeats or even their DVR," Schneider adds. "If Arsenio [Hall]'s still on the air at that point (he launches this fall), he could very well pick up a chunk of Leno's audience. But in the end, once Leno's show goes away, his audience may choose another, powerfully seductive late-night competitor: Sleep."

After Season 2 of PBS' drama Downton Abbey everyone, myself included, seems to have a problem with this drafty room that smells faintly of ash and the lost innocence of scullery maids. Critics rapturously adored the first season, where we learned about the people above and below stairs at a Gothic country estate. (I mean in terms of architecture, not that it listens to Coheed and Cambria and shops at Torrid). But the second go-round was a rushed affair where plots came and went like fired butlers and every action seemed to have little to no consequence. To have both amnesia and a miraculous healing before the third season is something that usually doesn't happen outside of the manic mind of Ryan Murphy, who probably would have thrown a serial killer in too for good measure.
So as we embark on Season 3 of this gem (who thought that, in 2013, PBS would have a bona fide hit even as the Big Bird hunters of the right tried to kill it off?) the show is a love it or hate it proposition. Or maybe we hate it while loving it or hate that we love it so. Anyway, there are only two emotions it inspires so we're going to break everything down.
LOVE
Lady Edith: I'm just going to put this out there: I will forever be #TeamEdith. I love her and she is my favorite character on the show, mostly because everyone treats her like such trash and she's just totally misunderstood and needs someone to love her. That might as well be me. (Also, as a middle child, we are essentially the same person, so hating her would be a self-torture like lashing myself on the back with a cat of nine tails or subjecting myself to another season of Glee.) So hurray that she has something to do this season, at least a little bit.
Everything Lady Mary Wore: The wardrobe department killed it dead. It's more deadly than all the mustard gas that we got to see during the war last year. Everything Mary had on from her traveling clothes to her stunning wedding dress was just absolutely perfect. Look at the ensemble below. She's just waltzing around in that every day like it's no big thing. "Oh yes, I'm Mary and I'm just absolutely effortlessly amazing." And don't get me started about when she wears tiaras or jewels in her hair. I just damn died. See, they killed me dead.
Alfred: Well, hello to the new footman who is about 1700 feet tall and has red hair that will set your crotch on fire (that's why they call them fire crotches, you know). If I were a Lord, I would want Alfred to be my valet, so that he could come into my dressing room, untuck my shirt and then stand behind me and put his arms around me while he took out my studs and I would just relax my head into that little crook between his shoulder and his bulging bicep and then he would spin me around and kiss me square on the mouth like he did with that little American hussy and then we would be in deep and unabiding love forever.
Matthew and Tom's Bromance: No one is on the side of poor Tom, Sybil's crazy Irish husband, except for Matthew and I find it quite endearing. When Matthew and Mary are about to not get married (ugh, do not get me started before the HATE portion of this recap) it's Tom and Anna that need to talk some sense into the pair. Yes, it's the servants who have to set these stupid aristocrats right. Can't they do anything on their own?
Hobbledehoys: I don't know what this is, but I like when Carson says it.
Being "Ruined": I don't want the Granthams to be poor, because that would be a series called London Apartment and there wouldn't be nearly as many people and no one would want to watch that (unless it is an apartment where Alfred is naked all the time). But just the idea that one could lose all his money on one "scheme" and be financially "ruined" is kind of quaint and amusing. Then I remember Enron and Bernie Madoff and all that horribleness and maybe it's not that quaint after all.
Clive Poolbrook: This is the man who has to die so that Matthew can inherit a huge fortune that he doesn't deserve. We never get to meet the poor sucker before he kicks it but we find out he got to go to India and visit tea plantations and had heirs (probably lots of illegitimate ones) and it sounds like he never saw a buckle that he didn't want to swash. What a glamorous and adventurous life he had. It's like he was Indiana Jones before such a thing even existed. I think that this Mr. Poolbrook needs a spin-off series of his own. He dies at the end, however. #SpoilerAlert.
Violet's Quips: The top one was when she accused her son of looking like a waiter in his tuxedo, but she does nothing but spout bon mots for the entire episode, from asking if Tom is "quite done" after his objections about wearing a morning coat to telling Mary that "nothing succeeds like excess." My personal favorite though was when someone said, "They've given Tom something so that he will appear drunk!" and she asked, witheringly, "Was it drink?"
Cora's Brother: Thank you for just blithely mentioning that Cora has a brother who is obsessed with yachts. When do we get to meet this clown? Season 4? Can he be played by some amazing American? Tom Selleck? Please, let it be Tom Selleck.
Mrs. Hughes Cusses Out Carson: He so deserved it. And so does Lady Mary. Thanks for lashing out, Mrs. Hughes. We didn't think you had it in you.
Sir Anthony Strahlin: I always thought he wasn't good enough for my Lady Edith, but at the dinner with Greys, he put that Larry Grey right in his place and stood up to him when he slipped that mickey in Tom's cocktail. He did the right thing and stood up for a drunk Irish person instead of his annoying neighbor. Huzzah.
HATE
Sir Anthony Strahlin: But I also hate Sir Anthony. Why? Well, first of all, what happened to his hand? Did we miss something? Secondly, how dare he just back off Lady Edith and not fight for her. He's just going to let her father march in there and tell him to bugger off when she has made it clear that she wants a relationship with him? No one heeds Lady Edith, not even the man who is in love with her.
Lady Mary: Ugh, this one drives me up a freaking tapestried wall. Lady Mary gets her monied prince and even then she is still not happy. She wants him to come into gobs of money so that he can save the home that she grew up in, one that doesn't even have a functioning chimney and that her father has managed to lose almost twice. When she stomps off screaming, "You're not with us," I wanted to reach into the television, pull out a chunk of her perfectly-placed hair and set it on fire. And then she launches into that silly scheme to get her grandmother to bail out the house which everyone knows is going to fail before it starts. But no. Lady Mary never listens. She just does whatever she wants and doesn't even listen to the "I told you so"s when she fails.
Wasting Shirley Maclaine: I'm just going to say it, Martha Levinson is a bore. Her character is awful. She's just some American ninny who goes around saying, "Change, change, change. You British people need to change. You need to be like us in America. America is awesome. I am so great and American. Let's do things differently, let's have a picnic. Change!" God, shut up, Martha. The only interesting thing about you are your outfits (I don't know what that jeweled robot helmet she was wearing was, but I want one) and the car you showed up in. And you are going to get Oscar winner Shirley Maclaine to play this awful woman? You have one of the best actresses in the whole damn world and you're just going to waster her? Screw you, Downton.
The Jail: Yes, it is all white and kind of chic, but everything about the Bates in jail storyline is stupid and boring. We do not care about Anna's investigation. We do not care about Bates' cell mate. We don't care about any of this. I think that I am just going to ignore this awful storyline for the rest of these recaps, but if it continues to be this awful, I'm going to have to vent about it some more.
There Is So Much Telling: Remember when things used to happen on Downton? Now we just hear about them. Oh, look Matthew's best man is sick. Oh look, Matthew is going to get some giant inheritance. Oh look, now he's not. Oh look, he is again. Oh look, Isobel is helping old hookers. Oh look, we're all poor. Everything that happens is just told to us. Give us a little bit of establishment, please.
Time Moves So Crazy: We go right from the wedding to the honeymoon months later in one second. What, nothing happened in that time the couple was away? This thing is so Matthew and Mary centric that we don't even get to say goodbye to Sybil or see any of the other goings on in the house. Absolutely nothing happened between their departure and their return? Nothing at all?
Lord Gratham's Naked Flesh: We caught a little glimpse of it through his dressing gown when Thomas lost all of his shirts and I did not like it. It was sort of like seeing a turtle with its shell taken off.
The Indoor Picnic: Oh, shut the hell up Martha with your stupid indoor picnic. We don't want to do things the new way. We don't want modernity. If we did we would watch, I don't know, 90210 or Pretty Little Liars or some shit like that. We don't watch Downton to see the new way of doing things, we watch to see a bunch of people stiffly sitting around an appropriately ornate dinner table talking about things that we don't have anymore like land lines, candle light, and propriety.
Cancer: Did the Susan G. Koman Foundation give a ton of money to PBS or something? Where did this breast cancer storyline come from. I'm sure they had cancer back then, but this seems like a total stretch. Can't you just give her some vague old disease that we don't have anymore, like dysentery or consumption? I mean, what is next, Sybil is going to Skype Cora to ask her questions about parenting.
O'Brien Has Nothing to Do: "Oh, Alfred, thank you for coming. Oh, Alfred, let me help you get ahead. Oh, Alfred, I'm not going to have any story line this season until I tell you that you are the child that I had out of wedlock that I gave to my sister to raise and now I'm helping you get a leg up at Downton Abbey because I finally want to be of some use to you, but I'd be much better served if I had something to do on my own. Right, Alfred?"
Moseley: Just fire this dope already. I'm sick of looking at his stupid bald head.
Daisy: Daisy. A million, jillion headshakes for Daisy. This girl can not do one living thing correctly. She's all pissed that she didn't get a promotion and then we find out Mrs. Patmore gave her a raise and a new title. So what is she whining about? Then Thomas tells her she should go on strike and she can't even do that. She sits there and gets in everyone's way and then she just pouts and when Mrs. Patmore gets mad at her, she starts working again. What was the point of any of that? What is the point of Daisy? All she ever does is oversee and overhear things and then she doesn't even know what to do with the information she gathers. God, Daisy is just the worst. She is the actual living worst.

10 Pop Culture Moments That Would’ve Been Better Naked

Larry Hagman, the actor who famously played J.R. Ewing in both the original Dallas and its TNT reboot, passed away at 81 at a Dallas area hospital Friday, sources told The Dallas Morning News. The actor, who was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2011, passed away of complications from cancer.
Said the actor's family in a written statement: “Larry was back in his beloved Dallas re-enacting the iconic role he loved most ... Larry’s family and close friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday. When he passed, he was surrounded by loved ones. It was a peaceful passing, just as he had wished for. The family requests privacy at this time.”
Though Hagman boasted a career that spanned all genres, the actor was most renowned for his role as Dallas' J.R. Ewing, a character who became known as one of the most loved (and hated) villains in television history. The role — which spawned the famous "Who Shot J.R.?" storyline, written in response to Hagman's demand for a hefty Season 3 salary increase, which nearly led to his exit from the series — won Hagman several accolades: Not only did audiences respond to his role on the nighttime soap, but Hagman also picked up two Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations playing J.R. Ewing. (As Hagman wrote in his 2001 memoir, Hello Darlin', "Ronald Reagan was campaigning against Jimmy Carter, American hostages were being held in Iran, Polish shipyard workers were on strike, and all anyone wanted to know was, who shot J.R.?”)
Turns out Hagman certainly was worth the pay raise. The actor headlined over 350 episodes, helping keep the series afloat for a whopping 14 seasons and seen by 350 million viewers worldwide. And J.R. Ewing was iconic enough to be revived decades later for TNT's 2012 Dallas reboot, on which Hagman starred despite his cancer struggle.
Of course, the actor — who, appropriately enough, began his career as a production assistant in Dallas — was respected for his work outside the Lone Star State. After first gaining traction as an actor on Broadway and Off-Broadway, Hagman landed the role of I Dream of Jeannie's Major Tony Nelson. Hagman's comedic chops helped turn the series into a hit — keeping up with predecessors like Bewitched — and the actor's chemistry with co-star Barbara Eden helped Major Nelson and Jeannie become an iconic TV duo. Though the TV series was a headache for 1960s feminists (Eden, as Jeannie, refused to call the man who summoned her anything other than "Master"), its camp nature won over several generations of audiences — two reunion specials (which, unfortunately for fans, didn't star Hagman) aired in 1985 and 1991.
After Jeannie wrapped, Hagman set his sights on film, appearing in movies like 1978's Superman and directing 1972's The Blob sequel, Beware the Blob. Hagman, however, had better luck on the big screen in the 1990s with roles in high-profile projects like Oliver Stone's Nixon and Primary Colors. In 2011, Hagman, who underwent a liver transplant in 1995 after years of drinking, returned to the small screen with a recurring role on Desperate Housewives, just months before the actor announced he had been diagnosed with throat cancer. Not that he let the diagnosis slow him down. Shortly after his announcement, Hagman revealed he would be returning to his iconic role on TNT's Dallas reboot. And the actor continued to keep J.R.'s legacy alive — Patrick Duffy told The Sun in August that Hagman was intending to return for Season 2 of Dallas.
As Hagman told The Daily Mirror this summer, "I'm ready to do another 13 years [on Dallas] ... That's the plan. I don't want to retire. I'd like to die on stage, so to speak. I love acting and I've had a wonderful career."

Tis the season for new TV shows, so without further ado, here are a few more to add to the ever-growing list. NBC is hoping to continue the sitcom success of their Thursday night line-up (minus Outsourced; replace it already!) by green-lighting four, count 'em, F-O-U-R new sitcoms including one based off Chelsea Handler's book, Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea.
The Handler comedy probably won't star the comedianne, but it will attempt to take her style of humor and translate it to network television. So does that mean all the dirty, awful things she says aren't going to fly? Pass. That's the only reason she's interesting. In other Chelsea Handler-related and inspired-by-real-life-ladies sitcom news, NBC also gave the go-ahead to a sitcom based around Whitney Cummings who often appears on Handler's late night show and manages to drive me crazy every time. Like Are You There Vodka?, the sitcom is supposed to be unconventional, but we'll be careful not to count those chickens until they hatch.
Jack Black and Ben Silverman are putting their weight behind a book-to-small screen adaptation of My Life as an Experiment. Guess what? This one is supposed to be an "unconventional" look at life too! My hopes are bit higher for this one because Black is pulling the strings and while his antics may have grown a little stale on the screen, if they should retire anywhere it's on TV.
Lastly, we have the most promising of the bunch. Brave New World comes to us from Peter Tolan (The Larry Sanders Show) and is another workplace comedy, this time set in the old timey world of a theme park called Pilgrim Village. NBC is killing it with workplace comedies - hello, The Office, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock - and with Tolan behind it all, this looks to be a great addition to the line-up.

The actor, most famous for his role as greedy oil baron J.R. Ewing in the soap opera, was devastated when his wife of 55 years Maj Axelsson developed the degenerative brain disease, which robs patients of their memory.
Hagman has since moved Axelsson into a care home to receive professional treatment, but insists his wife has retained her "vivacious" spirit and still recognises him.
He tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "She has had it for six years but we didn't know that until we looked back on her personality changes and traits.
"She still knows who I am. She's always saying, 'Get me out of here!' I say, 'Well, I can't do it myself any longer.' I can't. I just couldn't. I see her every day when I'm here and when I'm gone she knows, but she forgets... It's an awful disease. There's no rhyme or reason. It's devastating. B***dy awful... She was very vivacious and still is."

The actor starred as greedy oil baron J.R. Ewing in all 13 seasons of the hit show, but he's not sure if he wants to take part in a modern TV update.
Hagman admits he could be tempted to join the cast, but only if he didn't have to work daily or promote the show.
He tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "I might be interested. Look, 13 years (of the show) is nice and I got plenty of money. To do it again and risk the legacy I've established... I don't know if it's worth it. I'm thinking about it.
"I'd like to know who's doing it, who's writing it and who's in the show. I don't want to work every day and I'd like not to have to promote it. So, we'll see."

The former Growing Pains star hasn't been seen since 14 February (10). He disappeared during a trip to Vancouver, Canada and was reported missing by a friend after failing to show up for his flight home to Los Angeles on 16 February (10).
His parents, former Star Trek actor Walter Koenig and his wife Judy, flew to Vancouver this week (beg22Feb10) to take part in a televised press conference to appeal for their son to come home.
On Wednesday (24Feb10) they headed to a Vancouver TV studio for a link-up with Larry King Live, just days after their daughter Danielle spoke to the TV host about her missing brother.
But the Koenigs cancelled the planned interview just two minutes before they were due on air, according to King, who was left baffled by the couple's sudden decision to leave.
He told the TV audience, "For some reason unbeknownst to anyone, Walter Koenig, the father of the missing Andrew Koenig, and Judy Levin-Koenig left the studio in Vancouver. We checked them out, they were prepared to go on, I said 'Hello,' they said 'Hello.' We said we'd be on in two minutes, they said 'Fine.' And they got up and left, for reasons unknown."
Police in Vancouver have launched an investigation into Andrew Koenig's disappearance, combing the area for the 41 year old after receiving a number of reported sightings from locals on Vancouver Island.

The God of Legion secular Hollywood’s latest Biblically-inspired action flick is old-school an angry spiteful Almighty with a penchant for Old Testament theatrics. Fed up with humanity’s decadent warmongering ways He’s decided to pull the plug on the whole crazy experiment and start over from scratch.
Fortunately for us the God of Legion is also a rather lazy fellow. Instead of doing the apocalyptic work himself and wiping us out with a giant flood which worked perfectly well last time He opts to delegate the task to His army of angels — a questionable strategy that starts to fall apart when the archangel charged with leading the planned extermination Michael (Paul Bettany) refuses to comply.
Michael who unlike his boss still harbors affection for our sorry species abandons his post and descends to earth where inside the swollen belly of Charlie (Adrianne Palicki) an unwed mother-to-be working as a waitress in an out-of-the-way diner sits humanity’s lone hope for survival. Why is this particular baby so important? Is it the one destined to lead us to victory over Skynet? Heaven knows — Legion reveals little details its script devoid of actual scripture. What is clear is that God’s celestial hitmen want the kid whacked before it’s born.
But Michael won’t let humanity fall without a fight. Armed with a Waco-sized arsenal of assault weapons he hunkers down with the diner’s patrons a largely superfluous collection of thinly-sketched caricatures from various demographic groups led by Dennis Quaid as the diner’s grizzled owner Tyrese Gibson as a hip-hop hustler and Lucas Black as a simple-minded country boy.
Together they mount a heroic final stand against hordes of angels who’ve taken possession of “weak-willed” humans turning kindly old grandmas and mild-mannered ice cream vendors into snarling ravenous foul-mouthed beasts. They descend upon the ramshackle diner in a series of full-frontal assaults commanded by the archangel Gabriel (Kevin Durand) the George Pickett of End of Days generals.
Beneath its superficial religious facade Legion is really just a run-of-the-mill zombie flick a Biblical I Am Legend. Bettany an actor accustomed to smaller dramatic roles in films like A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code looks perfectly at ease in his first major action role wielding machine guns and bowie knives with equal aplomb. Conversely first-time director Scott Stewart a former visual effects artist does little to prove himself worthy of such a promotion serving up some impressive CGI work but not much else worthy of note.

Synopsis

The story of Larry Alder, host of a radio show where he gives romantic advice to woman who call him on the air. He also has his problems at home, as he struggles to raise his two daughters who he has gained custody of since his divorce.
